Dyed light test during gallbladder removal surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if using a special dye that glows under a camera can help surgeons see the bile duct more clearly during gallbladder removal. This may make the surgery safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled to have your gallbladder removed using small incisions (laparoscopic surgery).
- You do not have thyroid disease.
- You are not allergic to the dye (indocyanine green) or to iodine.
- You can give written and spoken consent to join the study.

This study tests whether using a green dye during emergency gallbladder removal helps surgeons see the bile ducts more clearly, which may reduce complications. If you are having urgent gallbladder surgery, this could make your operation safer.
This trial tests two different doses of a special dye (indocyanine green) to see which one gives surgeons a clearer view of the bile ducts during gallbladder removal. The goal is to help make the surgery safer and reduce the risk of injury.
This study compares two advanced imaging methods—laparoscopic ultrasound and fluorescence cholangiography—to help surgeons see bile ducts more clearly during a difficult gallbladder removal. It aims to make the surgery safer for patients like you.
This study tests whether giving a special dye (ICG) before minimally invasive liver surgery helps surgeons see tumors more clearly compared to using ultrasound alone. It’s for people who are already scheduled for keyhole liver surgery.
This trial uses a special dye called ICG that is injected during surgery to help the surgeon see the blood flow to your colon and lymph nodes. It may help make the surgery more precise and improve outcomes for colon cancer.
This trial tests whether a special fluorescent dye called indocyanine green (ICG) can help doctors better diagnose biliary atresia—a rare condition where a baby's bile ducts don't form properly. The dye is used during an imaging scan to light up the bile system so doctors can see it more clearly.
